Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a copying-book, the combination witha tablet or series of leaves bound together, of acover having a flexible back, aspring-clamp having substantially a C shape in crosssection and secured to the cover, to one side of the flexible back, to hold the tablet to the cover, a rectangular frame pivoted on one side near the edge of the cover and adapted to lie with its opposite side near the clamp, and a carbon-sheet attached to the side of the frame near the clamp, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a copying-book, the combination with a tablet or series of leaves bound together by staples, c, c, of acover having a flexible back, a springclamp having substantially a C shape in cross-section and secured to the cover, to one side of the flexible back, ears at each end of the clamp to hold the tablet to the cover, a rectangular frame pivoted on one side near the edge of the cover and adapted to lie with its opposite side near the clamp, and a carbon-sheet attached to the side of the frame near the clamp, substantially as shown and described.

3.
